Pros

Pro

Some puzzle solving elements

Due to the fact that the player can not mine upwards, there needs to always be an avenue of escape to get back above ground. Whether this is leaving enough fuel in order to fly up or leaving dirt laid out in a certain way that the player can climb up.

Having this element of complexity through puzzle solving adds a deeper level of gameplay, which is great for the non-casual crowd.

Pro

Random generation allows for lasting gameplay

Each time the game is started new, the dirt that one will be mining in is randomly generated. This allows for a new experience each time played but also a way to make each individuals experience different. This way the game has a longer shelf life thanks to each experience being different from the last.

Pro

Interesting story

The story is told through mysterious transmissions that the player will receive at random, making for an intriguing story that is slowly drip fed to the player, which is a good reason to keep playing as to find out what is happening.

Pro

Great controls

There are two different control schemes for the game, the player can use the arrow keys or the mouse. This allows the player to choose what works bets for them while also providing good controls for both.

Cons

Con

Short gameplay

Users have reported to being able to beat the game in around an hour. While the random generation allows for some replayability, the time that this game can be beaten means that a single play-though can be finished easily in one sitting. So for those looking for something to sink more time into, may want to look elsewhere.

Con

Repetitive sound

The musical score along with the sound effects in the game can become annoying with time as there is little variation, meaning the sounds and music repeat over and over again, which can be frustrating.
